Commercial Description:
Bottled - pasteurised.
Another fine addition to the Black Sheep Brewery range of premium bottled ales, our Holy Grail Bitter was specially commissioned to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Monty Python. It has a distinctive taste with plenty of fruity hops, and is full flavoured with a dry and refreshing bitterness.

Not the most amazing of bitters, to be sure, but still enjoyable. It’s for drinking (while looking at the label), not analyzing - you won’t be overly impressed but also will have no problem drinking it. Black Sheep has many other finer offerings, but one buys this for the novelty factor, right? I keep an empty around myself...

I must say that the bottle is quite clever, and the beer is more than drinkable. This is not among my favorite British ales, but it is a hearty medium bodied offering, with a bit of caramel sweetness and a bit of a roasted flavor. Slightly bitter, and quite tasty.

had this on tap at the Berkley Front earlier this summer. poured a nice amber with a nice sizes light tan head that left some nice lacing. aroma got some caramelized malts with some hops, a bit of fruitiness and that is all folks. flavor, not much going on here did get some malt and hops, has a bitter finish which would be the only thing going for it.

500 ml bottle. Good carbonation. Brown-red color. Bitter taste. Nice but a bit disapointed for a bitter. Leaves you with the bitter after taste. Medium-dry.

My personal favorite English ale. Nice caramel flavor. Foamy, slightly creamy head.

Hazy dark amber body with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Sweet caramel flavor with a slightly metalic aftertaste.

Hazy red-gold body, light white head. Caramelly malt aroma, maybe a touch of molasses. Light palate but rich malts flavour with toastiness at the end.

Poured an amber brew with a profuse creamy head. Smelled like corn and water. A lot of alcohol in the taste. Overall kind of gross.
